How YOU too can save lives!

How YOU too can save lives!

As many of you know, I have been donating blood or platelets since 1984. Late last year, I found out #JohnFronda at Lane Bloodworks nominated me as one of Fresenius Kabi's 2022 Blood Donation Hall of Fame Inductees. We are all featured in their 2023 Product and Donor Eligibility Calendar. In case you didn't know, Fresenius Kabi makes the machines that collect donor's blood products and these calendars that describe moving stories about why people donate will be distributed to Blood Banks & Blood Centers nationally.

Did you know:

1) You can save up to THREE lives with each donation?

2) There is NO substitute for blood.

3) There is ALWAYS a shortage because only 35% of people are eligible to donate, yet less than 10% of them regularly do so.

Thank you John and Fresenius Kabi. I am humbled and honored and ask all of you to join me to donate as often as you can! I promise you the great karma you get from helping those who need it most is AWESOME!
